Introduction This section is entirely informative and does not form an integral part of this Engineering Docum
8、ent. Stereoscopic 3D imaging systems deliver two images (left eye image and right eye image), that are arranged to be seen simultaneously or near simultaneously by the left and right eyes. Viewers then perceive increased depth in the picture, which becomes more like the natural binocular viewing exp
9、erience. One method of carrying stereoscopic signals in existing 2D HDTV systems is to multiplex two temporally or spatially sub-sampled images of a stereoscopic image pair into a single stream. This method of carriage is called the Frame Compatible packing method. This document provides a mechanism
10、 to signal the packing method used to create a Frame Compatible serial data stream. This signaling is based upon and is compatible with the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC Frame Packing Arrangement SEI message. Annex B Frame Compatible Packing Methods (informative) provides illustrations of the frame packing metho
11、ds covered by this standard. Figure 1 illustrates the process of creating a frame compatible image stream from a Stereoscopic 3D image pair. The general order of operations that occur when two images of a stereoscopic image pair are packed into one frame compatible image are as follows: (1) The inpu
12、t Stereoscopic serial data stream consisting of a stereoscopic image pair (Left Eye image and Right Eye image), as defined for example in SMPTE ST 292-2, Dual 1.5 Gb/s Serial Digital Interface for Stereoscopic Image Transport or SMPTE ST 425-4, Dual 3Gb/s Serial Digital Interface for Stereoscopic Im
13、age Transport, are first decoded into a Full resolution Left eye image (FrLe) and a Full resolution Right eye image (FrRe). The FrLe and FrRe images are then filtered prior to the application of temporal or spatial sub-sampling. SMPTE ST 2068:2013 Page 3 of 15 pages The sub-sampling process produces
14、 two half resolution sub-images Half spatial resolution Left eye / Right eye (HrLe / HrRe), or Half Temporal resolution Left eye / Right eye (HTrLe / HTrRe). These sub images may be half the horizontal, vertical or temporal resolution of the originating full resolution stereoscopic image pair. (2) T
15、he two HrLe and HrRe or HTrLe and HTrRe sub-images are then packed into an intermediate form in preparation for multiplexing into a single Frame Packed Image. The packing step may also format the sub-images by reversing the image orientation or pixel order. The two Frame Packed sub-images are then m
16、ultiplexed together to form the frame packed image. (3) The frame packed image (FpI) is then output as a frame compatible serial data stream in accordance with SMPTE ST 292-1, 1.5 Gb/s Serial Digital Interface or SMPTE ST 425-1, 3 Gb/s Serial Digital Interface. (4) Information describing the sub-sam
17、pling, packing method and multiplexing (Packing Method Signaling), is appended to the frame compatible serial data stream to facilitate interchange of Frame Compatible signals.

19、iew of the frame packing operations SMPTE ST 2068:2013 Page 4 of 15 pages 1 Scope This standard defines a 3D Frame Compatible (3DFC) ancillary data packet that enumerates various frame packing methods in a manner compatible with Recommendation ITU-T H.264 (H.264) and ISO/IEC 14496-10 MPEG-4 AVC (MPE
20、G-4 AVC), Frame Packing Arrangement SEI message. This ancillary data packet provides information for the frame compatible transport of 10-bit stereoscopic image pairs (Left eye and Right eye images) as defined in dual 1.5 Gb/s and 3 Gb/s serial digital interfaces for stereoscopic image transport tha
21、t are temporally or spatially sub-sampled and combined to form a frame compatible serial data stream in accordance with 1.5 Gb/s and 3 Gb/s serial digital interfaces. The ancillary data packet is carried in the vertical ancillary (VANC) data space of the frame compatible serial data stream having th
22、e same pixel array structure as the originating stereoscopic image pair, and is used to signal the frame packing method utilized in order to facilitate interchange of Stereoscopic Frame Compatible signals. The information contained in this ancillary data packet could then be used to set the H.264/MP
23、EG-4 AVC Frame Packing Arrangement SEI message prior to delivery to a subsequent transmission delivery device. The precise translation between the 3DFC ancillary data packet and the Frame Packing Arrangement SEI message is not within the scope of this standard. Nor does this standard address other a
24、dditional H.264/MPEG-4 AVC SEI messages that may be required for transmission delivery of a 3D Frame Compatible signal. Definition of the filtering mechanism is not within the scope of this standard since implementers can employ a variety of standard or proprietary filtering methods to improve image
25、 quality. It is not necessary for implementations to include support for all frame packing arrangements defined in Table 4 to conform to this standard. Implementers should indicate supported frame packing arrangements in commercial publications. 2 Conformance Notation Normative text is text that des
26、cribes elements of the design that are indispensable or contains the conformance language keywords: “shall“, “should“, or “may“. Informative text is text that is potentially helpful to the user, but not indispensable, and can be removed, changed, or added editorially without affecting interoperabili
27、ty. Informative text does not contain any conformance keywords. All text in this document is, by default, normative, except: the Introduction, any section explicitly labeled as “Informative“ or individual paragraphs that start with “Note:” The keywords “shall“ and “shall not“ indicate requirements s
28、trictly to be followed in order to conform to the document and from which no deviation is permitted. The keywords, “should“ and “should not“ indicate that, among several possibilities, one is recommended as particularly suitable, without mentioning or excluding others; or that a certain course of ac
29、tion is preferred but not necessarily required; or that (in the negative form) a certain possibility or course of action is deprecated but not prohibited. The keywords “may“ and “need not“ indicate courses of action permissible within the limits of the document. The keyword “reserved” indicates a pr
